in short , Science Diet is the only selection I will give my pack of 7,, they range from 2 to 9 and while they are not hard to please,,,because of the range of food from Hill's, our dogs are healthy and have no problems,,,they do know the difference if for a min I try to change their food,,because they won't touch any other,,,did I say they are too smart for their own good;)

Good for my dog
I have two pit bulls and one of them has a very sensitive stomach and science diet is the only dog food he can eat. I tried to switch him to a different food (the proper way of mixing the two types together for a week) and my dog started getting very gassy and having diarrhea. He stopped eating and drinking and was very sick. Once I nursed him back to health with chicken/rice and chicken broth, I started introducing the science diet back to him and he has been good ever since. It's the only food that I will keep my dogs on. I just wish it didn't cost so much because with two pit bulls, I go through quite a bit of dog food. :)

Diarrhea Solved
When we got our lab 7 years ago we had an awful time with his bowls. He had regular diarrhea. We were told to not let him swimm, not let him eat the grass, that he had an infection, but nothing seemed to work. I spoke to another vet about it and she recommended Science Diet's Lam Meal & Rice because she thought my dog might have a beef allergey and she was right. Just days after starting him on this he was normal and has stayed that way ever since.

My dogs don't care for it
We have gotten a lot of Hill Science Dog Food for our 2 Dalmatians, this time I got the Lamb / Rice and they won't eat it. I have tried adding water and some mixables, finally eat because they have gotten hungry enough. You might know I got a 33lb. bag and threw away the receipt.

Best Food yet for big dogs
I have 2 large dogs--one is a German Shepherd and St. Bernard mix, and the other is a Bernese Mountiain Dog. Both of them do really well on the large breed lamb and rice. The Bernese probably could eat any kind of food, but the Shepherd mix can only eat lamb and rice because he has a sensitive stomache. I can't stop them from eating each other's food, so I figured just feed them both the same. The cheaper foods simply do not compare. Both dogs will gain weight and their coats do not seem as shiney. I would rather pay more and have them healthy and happy!

jonesy loves this brand
when we got our lab, the brand breeder had him on gave him diarreha. after a trip to the vets (not parvo) they suggested changing brands immediately. as my brussel griffons and rescued dog love your brand, we changed the labs. he is now 1yr old, 110lbs and very healthy. i had a coupon for mobility food, tried it since he's in the pool daily, he's become quite the swimmer. in fact the lab on the bag looks just like him, my husband cut the picture off bag and kept it!

Great for Large Dogs!
I adopted my Great Dane/Lab with Rescue & my Veterinarian. He was very ill with ear & skin infection. We could count his ribs. He was very close to having a heat stroke. The rescue and veterinarian gave him medicine and your Hills Science dog food. And so have I he is so happy and healthy. When we take our walks I am asked what dog food do u give him. His coat is so beautiful! I tell everyone Hills Science Diet !!!
